How to speed up WebStorm

Question

In a huge WebStorm project (it may be another JetBrains product ), it always thinks and loads something.

It really annoys me!

Answer 1

Here is my recipe for speeding up your beautiful WebStorm:

• Go to Settings and do the following:
  • Appearance and behavior> System Preferences> Updates : disable automatic updates
  • Appearance and Behavior> System Settings> Usage Statistics : Allow sending data usage statistics to JetBrains
  • Editor> Live templates : turn off everything, leave only what you really use
  • Editor> Emmet : disable all emmets
  • Editor> Intentions : I leave only: CSS, Declaration, JavaScript and Injection Language
  • Plugins : leave only the following ( * ) can also be disabled if you do not need them):
    • CoffeeScript *
    • CSS support
    • CVS Integration
    • Git integration
    • HTML tool
    • IntelliLang
    • JavaScript Debugger *
    • JavaScript Intention installation block.
    • JavaScript support
    • NodeJS *
    • Perforce Integration
    • SASS suport *
  • Project> Catalogs . Exclude everything that you are not using.
  • Languages ​​& Framework> JavaScript> Libraries : leave only: HTML and HTML5 / EcmaScript 5
  • Languages ​​& Frames> Compass : Disable it
  • Tools> WebBrowsers : leave only Chrome

• Open a terminal, mc, or whatever you prefer, and change vmoptions and increase the memory usage of pwd: "/Applications/WebStorm.app/Contents/bin/ idea.vmoptions "

  -Xms 1024 m
  -Xmx 1536 m
  -XX: MaxPermSize = 1024 m
  -XX: ReservedCodeCacheSize = 512 m
  -XX: + UseCompressedOops
  

( Windows : C: \ Program Files \ JetBrains \ WebStorm XXX \ bin \ WebStorm.exe.vmoptions)

So, the main idea is this: disable everything in the settings that you really are not using, and increase the memory for the IDE.

Answer 2

In the file menu there is a parameter "Energy Saving Mode". This will disable syntax highlighting and more, but improve the speed of any JetBrains environment.
